Let's divide 158974 by 79
Let's see how many times 79 fits into 158974.

Let's proceed to step 1:
79 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 79

Let's proceed to step 2:
79 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 79

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 158 by 79, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 158 from 158, we get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 79

On to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 79, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtract 79 from 97 to get 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 79

Advancing to step 6:
79 can be fit into 184 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2012.0
If we subtract 158 from 184, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 7:
260 divided by 79 is 3 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2012.3
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 237 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
79 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2012.32
Subtract 158 from 230 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 720 by 79, we get 9 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2012.329
Deduct 711 from 720 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
79 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2012.3291
If we subtract 79 from 90, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
110 divided by 79 is 1 with a remainder of 31.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2012.32911
Subtract 79 from 110 to get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2012.32911 with a balance of 3.1e-05.
